The 3 things you SHOULD know about fuel contamination!




On arrival of the technician at your location

First thing that our mobile technician will do when he reaches you is to check your vehicle with the aim of verifying if it is actually the issue of wrong fuel. If it is not, he won’t render any service related to the wrong fuel in the car, and in that situation, you won’t be charged the quoted price but an updated amount.

Assuming it is the incorrect fuel in your vehicle as usually is the case, our mechanics have all the equipment on board and know-how to drain your vehicle's fuel system, flush it out and refill it with nice clean fuel of the correct type. We don’t demand crazy prices for the fresh fuel either, we just ask for the current pump prices. We are quite considerate when it’s time for you to make the payment, we know this is an urgent situation for you so we do not insist on cash but accept all the major debit and credit cards.

Contamination with Water and AdBlue

You should also take note of the fact that incorrect fuel is not the only issue which makes the engine run in an abnormal manner, but often the presence of water in the fuel can also make your car produce too much smoke, stop, lack power, or run irregularly. But unlike wrong fuel, water can cause more damage, such as permanent damage to the fuel filters.

Yet another thing which can cause same symptoms is putting AdBlue directly into the fuel tank. Using AdBlue without any knowledge of how it should be refilled can make your vehicle behave abnormally. For correct operation of it, AdBlue should be added through its own separate tank and dosing system rather than added to the fuel tank.

In both of the cases above, we can provide you with the same fuel system draining, flushing and refilling service as we do if you put the incorrect fuel in your vehicle. It does not matter what the cause is, we can get you back on your way. As we deal with your fuel issue, we can also replace water damaged fuel filters.

Other Services

This could be of interest to you.

You might also like to find out if we give other services aside from dealing with the problem of incorrect fuel.

After our technician has emptied a few fuel systems throughout the day, they will have a tank full of contaminated fuel they have to dispose of. These days, such fuel must be disposed of correctly since pouring it out might pollute the surroundings and the local water supply. But we can manage it for you since we have the right equipment, and we are accredited by the Environment Agency to do so.

This is a unique service that we provide to commercial and private clients. All you should do is grant us access, and it won’t matter if it is in a fixed storage tank, mobile storage tank or any other container, we will drain it. Rest assured that we will empty out the contaminated fuel and dump it safely and securely to the right regulations.

You will be back on the road soon

Don't fret about being stuck on the road for long since we always try our very best to finish the task within 30 minutes. So try going through our services as our mobile technician tries to solve your problem. We promise to get you on your way as soon as possible.

In some cases, having the wrong fuel in the system may cause other issues with a car such as a flat battery or air locks. Still, this should not concern you much because we can sort them out for you. You can still go back on the road.

We understand how hard it is to get over moments like this but we are pleased you contacted us. Our help extended to you means much to us. Not only can we help get you back on the road, we hopefully helped you get back your peace of mind too.

Wrong Fuel in Car Pearsons Green - Petrol in Diesel Car Pearsons Green

A person called us from his place on a street. He said, "My vehicle (a Pearsons Green) is not starting up and is creating terrible sounds when I turn the key." He confessed that he had put petrol in his diesel car however thought he would resolve the problem by putting more Diesel on top. We showed up quickly, carried out the drain and filled him up again with clean Diesel. He said after that he'd be certain to inform people not to fill up over the wrong fuel but to have it cleaned out promptly.

Wrong Fuel Doctor Pearsons Green - Fuel Rescue Pearsons Green

I am not ever overly inclined to doing work on Sundays, and 2 weeks ago was the same. I had just come away from the family after a superb Sunday roast prepared for us by the missus, and I was on the way to deal with a man who had put the incorrect fuel in his Pearsons Green. He was stationed nearby therefore it wouldn't be a long time before I arrived with him. As I drove up right behind the vehicle and got busy draining he said to me "Thank the Almighty! I foolishly had my mind on other considerations and did not realise I've put the wrong fuel in my petrol car. Have I inflicted damage through driving it?" I stated that truth be told there should not be any harm and also I'd personally drain the contaminated fuel quickly. Needless to say I removed the contaminated fuel from the car and put in some appropriate fuel, and then one more content customer could continue on their journey without bother. He couldn't stop thanking me, and that makes working on weekends that tiny bit easier for me personally!

How to find out if I put the wrong fuel in my car?

If you’ve just filled up at a petrol station and the cars starts to act a bit strange you might start to wonder if you accidentally put the wrong fuel in it.

Well, there are a few things to can check that will be able to tell you:

  1. How is the car responding? There are some very common misfuel symptoms which can be a good indicator of wrong fuel:
    • Loss of engine power – can feel like the car has run out of fuel
    • A lot of smoke (more than usual)
    • Engine coughing or starting to splutter
    • Won’t start – or keeps stalling.
  2. Look at your fuel receipt. It will state clearly if you filled up with diesel or unleaded. If you don’t have the receipt, you can often return to the petrol station where you filled up and give them the date and time (and pump) where you refueled and they will often be able to give you a VAT receipt.
  3. Smell it. Diesel and petrol have very distinctly different smells. Anyone familiar with the motor industry should be able to help you with this. Or you could even get another car to park alongside and smell the fuel caps of both, comparing them to determine what the fuel type is.
  4. Call us to come out and assess the car. In the majority of cases we will be able to tell if the car has been misfueled before beginning work on it. If we discover that the vehicle does not need a fuel drain, you will only be charged a call-out fee.
